They haven't "ripped you off" until you have paid for significantly more supply than required for the job. 

You have ample evidence that you have remediated that problem and the buyer can decide if they are convinced it has been solved.Tactically, it is useually better to be the bearer of your own bad news in the disclosures so you get it out of the way and impress the buyer with your thoroughness.

We are seeing a wave of people coming from IL for the exact reasons you just pointed out which is driving higher property values because there is no supply right now.

Then when we were able to raise an ample amount of capital we couldn't find enough assets consistently.

Hi, we are looking at multifamily homes in Bergen Lafayette and Bayonne now, however the supply is very low.

You can't write off your time, but you can write off the tools, supplies, etc.

(Cartersville, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Chattanooga, Burbank, Glendale) [Seattle, San Diego, Phoenix, Austin, Houston, Dallas] I found an abundant supply of properties in Detroit, Las Vegas, Milwaukee and Little Rock around $50k and less.

It’s just supply and demand.  

That would be necessary to do at some point if no bidders open their mouths at the sheriff sale.And if the inheritance tax is supposed to have priority over the mortgage, which is the case according to the PA Department of Revenue and the letter that @Chris K. supplied in that other thread, then the sheriff's distribution can be challenged on that basis if the inheritance tax is not paid out of the proceeds of the sheriff sale before the foreclosing lender gets a distribution.

The supply of affordable homes in the US continues to shrink.
